Trump Is Cracking Up (“Trump, an untethered maniac, sits atop it, flicking a lighter that Republicans in Congress could take away, but won’t. If everything goes up in flames, we can’t say we weren’t warned.”)

Twitter is paralysed by Trump’s tweeting (“Recently Twitter has pledged to crack down on hate speech, and, more importantly, promised to be more transparent about how it goes about moderating its increasingly volatile space…Despite its new transparency pledge, it refused to offer an explanation, or give any indication – even off the record – as to its reasoning for keeping [Britain First’s/Trump’s] tweets online.”)

NBC’s shifting statements on Lauer draw scrutiny (“After saying there were no complaints over 20 years, the network later stressed no complaints to ‘current management.'” This network may not be as bad as Fox in terms of sexual harassment, but it’s very bad nonetheless.)

The Freitas Gambit (“Even should Freitas win the nomination in a fight with Corey A. Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, and possibly E.W. Jackson, assemble a seasoned team that knows how to run an effective statewide effort, raise the money needed to finance that effort and weather the coming storm facing all Republicans running everywhere in 2018, his odds of defeating Kaine are very slim.”)

The lesson Alabama Democrats must learn from Virginia’s election (“The takeaway message flashes like a blinking, neon sign: black votes matter. But it takes work to earn those votes. Candidates can’t just show up at a black church or tout their histories and expect to harvest votes. No, they need to put some work into crafting policies and messages that will resonate in black communities.”)

Trump should be indicted for international incitement to violence. Remember this: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” “Can you imagine any American “president” purposely threatening to kill someone and getting off? There are no words.”

Please run, EWWWWW and Corey.

Oh boy. Flynn is coming to court to plead guilty to making false statements to the FBI. Let more games begin!

I just saw this quote from Harold Frazier, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe leader:

“Pocahontas was only a child when she became a victim of rape, kidnapping, imprisonment, and her forced conversion to Christianity. What happened to Pocahontas is still happening today to our women. Native American women continue to be victims of rape and exploitation by white men. The President of the United States is practicing that by exploiting native women as an insult for political machismo. Pocahontas is beloved by native people and is recognized as a victim of European colonialism. To use her name in that manner is disgusting and reflective of the President of the United States’ ignorance.”https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cheyenne-river-sioux-trump-pocahontas_us_5a1eeb16e4b017a311ebcf24
